I had written out this really long explanation as to why I am not strictly following the Dukan Diet anymore, but it made for a super long post that bored me to death so I can guarantee no one else would care to read it. It boils down to this: On the 3rd day I [...]

I sent the kids off to school and made myself breakfast like I said I would. This feels kinda strange, sitting here at my desk getting ready to work, with a full stomach. I slept better last night than I have in a long time. I don’t think I woke up once. Not sure if [...]

Ken weighed himself this morning and he was down 3 pounds after just two days. I completely forgot to weigh myself before I ate and really if I can hold out I would love to wait until the end of the Attack Phase and see where I end up. I got up this morning and [...]

Today was not easy by any means. I had the oat bran galette for breakfast by following the recipe in The Dukan Diet book, but I used regular non-fat yogurt instead of greek yogurt and I have to say it was not that tasty. I had to force myself to eat all 3 of the [...]

I started the Dukan Diet yesterday and after making the Oat Bran Galette for breakfast yesterday I knew that I was going to have to come up with something else to consume the required amount of oat bran everyday. Don’t get me wrong, they weren’t terrible, just not that great either. However I used regular [...]

The time has come for Ken and I to try out a diet plan because simply trying to eat healthy and cutting back isn’t working too well. I think the biggest problem is we will eat healthy for several days but then we binge on fast food over the weekend or times when life gets [...]

The first thing I had to do when we got our home gym was create a new playlist of music for working out. On a typical day I will get on the treadmill and walk for about 10 – 15 minutes to warm up my muscles so my playlist begins with a few slower songs [...]

Ken and I worked out on our home gym for the first time today and I loved it! Ken thinks we overdid it, but I can’t help it…when I work out I want to feel it burn. I guess you could say the Inspire FT1 was our Valentine’s Day gift to one another. We always [...]

Some sort of miracle occurred and I was able to get the iMac running long enough this morning to save the videos files I had made. I thought I had saved the actual iMovie file and I had borrowed my neighbors MacBook to try and extract the video, but I didn’t save it correctly. My [...]

After a mini break from doing Insanity I have restarted Month Two of the program. It could have been worse, I could have given up completely, but I didn’t! I’m back on track and I’m working hard at doing my workout every day again. It hasn’t been easy with the kids all busy with evening [...]

I started writing about how crazy this month has been and after about 3 paragraphs of how I can’t seem to stay focused and stick to my daily goals I decided to just forget the past and move forward. No one really cares to hear all my excuses, hence the perfect graphic below. I thought [...]
